There are no known motives for the crime and to date there are no suspects. Few women can go or care to go unescorted through Kenmore after dark, fear stalks the foot- steps of those who do. A Killer T0=e THE NEW SLATE Jim Black will make Oakville a mayor of which she can be proud. With his experience on council be- hind him, and with his progressive outlook on mun- icipal problems he should do much to carry on the development of the town. His victory at the polls fol; lowing his several attempts in the past will bring satisfaction to h supporters who worked so hard to help him earn this honor. Phil Chambres proved that he has lost none of the support which he had in the past, and his election puts an experienced man in the reeves chair. The return of Milne, Lauder and MacArthur to council for the coming year was not unexpected for these men have made contributions to town affairs of which thinking people were aware. The new mem- bers of council will find the guidance of these old members of value. Fred Turner was a sure bet for a seat on council and the heavy vote he polled indicates that his sound abilities have heen widely recognized. Jim Cooke's election on his second try for mun- icipal office is gratifying and we are sure that he will prove the confidence of the voters was not misplaced. R. F. Freeman is a newcomer to municipal af- fairs but there is no question that he will: reveal an equal ability to his associates for he has had wide business experience of an executive type. A BALANCED COUNCIL council will represent an even split next year between the north and the south sections of the township. With Joseph Wickson as deputy reeve and R. C. A. Cumberland as councillor from the southern area and Emerson Ford and Robert Marshall councillors from the north, the township as a whole is assured of municipal management for the good of the entire area, without any chance of sectionalism creeping in. The Reeve has often re- vealed his dislike of sectionalism in the township, and we agree with him most heartily in this. For the coming year he will not have any problem in this connection and will also have a progressive group with which to work. The return of the sitting trustees of the school hoard will be most gratifying to this group for it indicates the voters' belief in their methods and ideas 'so far as township schooling is concerned. Educa- tion is one field in which a contribution can be made by the individual, and the board of which he is a mem- her, which will have a lasting effect on the country for school hoards are helping to mould the citizens of tomorrow. In a growing area such as our township this work is of vital importance and we are sure the men elected on Monday are aware of this and will do their utmost to handle school matters in a wise man- ner. Trafalgar MONEY AND LIVES Oakville's landslide approval of the by-laws which made the power commission a member of the Hydro family and ratified the $100,000 grant to the Memorial hospital is most gratifying evidence of sound thinking on the part of our citizens. Membership in the Hydro family will mean cheaper power for the town and this will mean an increased economic security. The Memorial hospit- al will now have ample funds to complete the build- ing of the long needed hospital for this district. Trafalgar township revealed an equal grasp of the essential fact that a hospital was needed when it also gave approval by a clear majority to the by- law. The Reeve, prior to the election had expressed the wish that the vote would be large enough so that council would be assured that the decision was the opinion of most property owners. With one of the heaviest votes ever cast in the township endor- sing the by-law, there can be no question that this is the case. A GIFT TO YOURSELF The purchase of tuberculosis Christmas: seals provides the ammunition for the continuing battle for control of this communicable disease. Tach seal that appears on your letters is a guarantee that the mass surveys which have been conducted in Halton county can be continued, and that the checking of those who have been found to be threatened with the disease can be maintained. It is the constant checking of suspects, and the continued search among those who lived around you to find any possible source of infection, which guarantees your safety, and the safety of your fam- ily. It might be your neighbor, your best friend who will be the next patient to be discovered in an X-ray survey. The discovery of the disease in its early stages will not only insure your friends life but will prevent infection being passed on possibly to you.

Dr. L @ very successful dentist has grown-up in the town. He has many friends and no known enemies. One day last Septem- ber he took his three year old child to the Buffalo zoo while Mrs, L. went shopping. Mrs. Li, a quiet, unassuming woman of thirty-seven was last seen at 6 oclock that same day buying a loaf of bread and a quart of milk in a store near her home. When she failed to show up at supper time her husband im- mediately reported her disap- pearance. Two Weeks passed; a reward was offered for any in- formation as to her whereabouts. On October the 12th. some 12 miles from her home a human foot was found. Some days later and several miles from the first location two arms were discov- ered. Mrs. L, as a war-worker had been finger printed. The finger prints tallied, The next gruesome discovery was that of a torso of a woman who had borne a child. My object is not to harrow, I merely state facts. The head was the last part of the anatomy to be found . . al- most a month after the disappear- ance. The doctor had never kept a record of the work he had done on his wife's teeth but from memory he was able to swear to her identification. Altogether the area covered in 'disposing of the various parts of the body encomposed a distance of over twenty-five miles. A mutilated body, evidence enough of a mur- der, but unsatisfactory in tracks ing down the culprit. Who Killed this apparently harmless woman and why remains a horrible mystery. Who but a maniac would do it? .. . but maniacs aren't usually clever. Where, how and when did the killer cut up his victim? Medical evidence has proven that it is no simple task. How did he dispose of the body in so many places without anyone seeing a car stop . . . and a mysterious bundle carried out. Dr. L's friends of long stand- ing swear he could not pos- sibly have any connection the crime. All who know Dr. and Mrs. L. testify that they were a devoted couple. Dr. L's patients, among whom is a great friend of mine, are keep- ing their appointments for they realize that in this case the dentist is under a much greater nervous strain than they are.

In the last year your contri- butions have made possible two mass chest x-rays. In these sur- veys 14,163 people in Halton County took advantage of the opportunity offered to them. By these x-rays 5 active and 25 in- active cases of tuberculosis were found. Your contributions have also made possible an adequate follow-up of cases and contacts of tuberculosis. Regular clinics have been established in Milton and Oakville and the clinics in Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph were also used. Why should again? You contribute contribute you should prehended I shall let you know. Just at present the Kenmore po- lice would also appreciate the answer. I was glad to see that Bruce Squires challenged my state ments about Teen-Agers in his column last week. Am sure that he is right and that I heard of the exception not the rule. I feel that the teen-agers themselves through Teen Town column are adequately capable of dealing with the exceptional cases. Here is wishing teen-agers many hap- py parties in the coming festive season, because the control of tubercu- losis ns a continous process. If it is not carried on ceaselessly, the problem will grow to propor- tions where it becomes a men- ace to us all.
